A half-hearted remaster of a game that really didn't need it- pathetic in every sense. Fuck Neil Druckmann and free Palestine.
Is this really where the games industry is headed? Games being rushed out to meet deadlines instead of being given the time they need, ever-increasing budgets making the AAA scene as we know it totally unsustainable, a fixation on graphic fidelity over gameplay innovations and the focus to make games more cinematic leading to a landscape where a huge amount of modern releases feel extremely similar.
I haven't played TLOU2, but I'm sure it's at least pretty good- ND are a phenomenally talented dev studio and I have faith in them. That said, their talent is wasted on this. This better not be an omen for more studios to follow.
